Indulge me. I can’t help myself. BASEBALL is back; well the first game of the season was played this morning in Japan at least, Oakland at Boston. Not that I am a fan of either of these teams; but if they are playing then my beloved Cubbies can’t be far behind. Cubs fans are unique; each year we wake up in the spring and think, “This is the year” only to see our dreams disappear in the fall.In honor of baseball my choice for Recipe of the Week is the hot dog, but not just your ordinary hot dog, special hot dogs from three areas of the country. I present for your dining pleasure: The Italian Hot Dog, The Chili Dog and the Chicago-style Hot Dog. Each of these representing a variation on the steamed, boiled or grilled dog of our youth. Why not step up to the plate, as it were, and give the guys something to really sink their teeth into. Who knows; you may just hit a home run.
